Category: Reproach for Christ

1 Then Nahash the Ammonite came up and encamped against Jabesh Gilead; and all the men of Jabesh said to Nahash, “Make a covenant with us, and we will serve you.”

2 And Nahash the Ammonite answered them, “On this condition I will make a covenant with you, that I mayput out all your right eyes, and bring reproach on all Israel.” NKJV

Reproach-Shame, Disgrace, mocking…etc.

Matthew 5:29

29 If your right eye causes you to sin, pluck it out and cast it from you; for it is more profitable for you that one of your members perish, than for your whole body to be cast into hell. NKJV

Jesus illustrated with the right eye that it would be beneficial to allow the reproach of the world to come upon you for following Jesus than to be honored by the world and to give in to its temptation.

For the world honors those who are like them, lost and headed for hell, but those who the world hates for being in Christ Jesus, walking in the truth and living in righteousness will inherit eternal life and dwell with the Father in heaven.

The world will always malign, the Word of God and those who follow it because they love darkness rather than the light. They prefer the lust of the flesh and its momentary pleasures than to surrender their lives to God’s righteousness for the godless people’s hearts only have room for themselves.

Salvation

If you do not have a relationship with Jesus Christ, I encourage you today to do so. Repent and believe that Jesus died on the cross for your sins and took your punishment upon Himself, was buried and on the third day rose from the grave. If you give your life to Jesus by faith in His sacrifice, He will give you eternal life.

Some religions like Mormonism, Islam, and Catholicism, all claim that they have received new revelation.

A message to all believers in Christ Jesus

The desire of my heart is to reveal Satan’s tactics and how one can overcome his schemes. I want to encourage you to fight the good fight of faith. Putting on the full armor of God, by way of reading the Word of God and praying every day so that you may be strengthened and be transformed into the image of Christ for good works.

A Brief Background

I grew up in a family that to this day still does Santeria (the raw form of Witchcraft). Jesus saved me from becoming one even though I participated as a young child under my mother's authority. As a child, I used to see literally, demons walking in my house and it used to scare the heck out of me. I would write down more of my experience but it would be too long. The desire in my heart is to reveal Satan's tactics and how one can overcome his schemes. I want to encourage you to fight the good fight of faith. Putting on the full armor of God by way of reading the Bible and praying every day so that you may be transformed into the image of Christ for good works. If you haven't made Jesus your Lord and Savior, I pray that you do because there is no other way to make it to heaven as seen in John 14:6 which says, "Jesus told him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me" If you believe that He died for your sins and on the third day He rose from the grave you will be saved. Ask Jesus today, to forgive you of all of your sins and to save you and He will.
